Can't Get It Right!





This is a Mommy blog. A blog that mostly I, as the mother of this family, contribute to. Therefore, I feel it my right to post as I wish. This post isn't about my beautiful children or the adventures of my amazing little family, but a rant!




Pet Peeve #1 in my book...the wrong use of an apostrophe!




Am I an expert? No. Was I an English major? No. Do I have to be or have been to know correct grammar and punctuation? Absolutely not!






Rule 5: Do NOT use an apostrophe for the plural of a name.




Example: We visited the Smiths in Los Angeles.


The Changs have two cats and a dog.


We watched the fireworks with the Carters.




Rule compliments of grammerbook.com, or any elementary English and writing book!
